The narrow, linear leaves of this perennial densely encircle thick, upright stems, and remain evergreen to semi-evergreen throughout winter. Airy, rounded...

(Mediterranean Spurge, Tasmanian Tiger Spurge)

(Blue Euphorbia, Soet Noors)
What makes this plant different from the many other large branching Euphorbia species is the thickness of the branches, which are also more rounded. It is a native of South Africa where it is known as the blue euphorbia, they can be found on rocky slopes with extreme drainage and full sun. This plant is also unique in that it spreads by rhizomes into large colonies of tightly packed vertical branches. They rise upwards from the soil, occasionally branching, but usually just at the tip.

(Scarlet-plume)
Scarlet plume is an upright deciduous subshrub with long weeping branches that become covered with blooms in winter. It is native to Mexico that exudes a milky sap from its stems and leaves that can be a mild skin irritant. Its winter display makes it best suited as a landscape plant for the far south, though it can also serve as a houseplant or conservatory specimen.
In winter, the colorful scarlet plume becomes covered with small blooms that appear along its long arching branches between...

(Chandelier Euphorbia, Large-toothed Euphorbia)
Tall and gangley, this disorganized looking succulent tree is not as geometrically beautiful as some, but it compensates with a cast iron constitution. It is native to the eastern regions of South Africa where its range spans both states of Natal and drier inland Transvaal. Where moisture is more plentiful these plants can reach monumental proportions with large copses of them functioning much like its own forest ecosystem. They are found in both savanna and hill country wherever soils are sufficiently...

A native to tropical areas in Mexico, Central America and South America, hypericum-leaved spurge is a small roadside and field weed and has recently been cultivated as a garden bedding plant. It is a small, upright, airy spurge that produces small, lacy white flowers when growing conditions are warm. It is a frost tender annual that may survive as a short-lived perennial in winter-free zones. Cultivated varieties have larger flowers than wild-type and denser, bushier habits. They are low-growing...
